Is this overall pie, daily pie, or both?

It is overall pie. You are eligible as long as you are not in the 10 ten of either team before the contest starts. Now, if you work yourself in to the top 10 during the competition, you certainly will not be penalized for it.

Gentlemen-Let me explain the task and purpose of the contest furthermore:

1. Is it meant to boost our team's production

2. It is also meant to recruit new members (and potential ones) when they see the add on TPU's front page.

Now onto my take on the criteria and eligibility as far as who (I think) does not qualify:

1. Top ten production (PIE) NO GO

2. Team Captain/Co-Captain NO GO

3. Here is a good one - If you have enough HW that can meet the goal, let's say in a less than a month, I can consider you as a "power user". Definitely NO GO. So please let's leave it to the folks that could really use this system and are not as fortunate as many of us when it comes to having lots of PC parts

I can post more reasons but I think you all got the idea.

Also, I think we might be reconsidering to allow team mates from other countries to participate More to follow on that.
